Senate passes $750B defense bill, leaving Iran vote for Friday
The Senate passed a mammoth $750 billion defense bill Thursday, though it still needs to resolve a fight over Iran.
Senators voted 86-8 on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which authorizes spending and provides broad policy outlines for the Pentagon.
The bill provides $750 billion in total spending, including a base budget of $642.5 billion for the Pentagon and $23.3 billion for the Department of Energy’s national security programs.
